I think so too. I always saw myself as kind of a dual backend software/infra engineer and from the sound of the position I would get a lot of experience working with the systems I'd be integrating as a backend SWE. I feel like I can be happy in both positions and maybe even gain more transferable skills than if I were a SWE. I may still try to apply for the SWE role instead to see if I can pick either one but I feel content with a SysEng role either way.

This is certainly concerning. Would it look bad if I asked to apply to the software engineering role after already accepting a systems engineer role?

from the ask-hn dept.

I'm a new grad (this spring) from a state school majoring in CS. I love software development, and although I only started in college, it's what I want to do in my career. However before then I wanted to be a 'sysadmin' and did a lot of Linux/DB/cloud stuff (starting with game servers and forums) so I have a good amount of experience in I guess what would be called "systems engineering." Hence...
